When 5-4 Really Means 0-0

Let me just say, that Arsenal vs Man U. FA Cup becoming a history-making finals match absolutely does not compensate for the fact that it was damned tedious to watch. Talk about a match of attrition. Neither side could put the ball in the goal so they elected to wear their opponents (and supporters) down through sheer bloody-mindedness instead - running back and forth, running at each other, running back and forth again...
I managed to knit half a sleeve, though, so it wasn't a complete watse of time.
Yes, Arsenal played like shite. Without Henri, they just had no focus to their game. Undoubtedly, Man United played better football. But no goal from 23 attempts? And that was just the main game. The way their balls kept skimming over the bar you'd think there was a force field around the Arsenal goal.
Winning on a penalty shoot-out isn't much to be proud of either. Thank the Almighty Football God for Lehmann. At least the Gunners know how to pick a goalie.
Arsenal may have won, but somehow it just doesn't feel like a real win to this fan.
